I know I'm supposed to say I wouldn't wish this on anyone. But ....

... I don't always do what I'm supposed to do. Honesty is the best policy. I truly wish he would get it!

A personal valet to Trump has tested positive.

"Still, the White House has not enforced strict social distancing guidelines for staffers and few people inside the building wear masks during the day, including valets."

I am very sorry for the young man who has the virus.

That's as far as I can go with this.

And I'm keeping my other wishes to myself.

I could make an exception. I don't necessarily want him dead, but if he got sick enough that he thought he was going to die, I wouldn't have much pity.

a COVID infection. A lot of people were saying how stressed he looked, but I saw something different. I think he's infected.

Of course, they'll use every vaccine on him they possibly can to save his life since he's the president. But I sure wish he'd get a really good taste of the virus, first hand, before he got treated.

He added: "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

I wish the best for the "personal valet" - and as for IQ45, to quote a great American, Mark Twain:

“I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

I'm betting he was tested on a near daily basis.

So, yea, risk is for the peasants. The aristocracy is protected.
